Abstract—This article presents a quadtree data structured method for complete area coverage (CAC) path-planning in known environment with arbitrary shape obstacles by applying the concepts of contour map and spanning tree. Contour map can reduce the number of turns effectively. The results of this proposed method can achieve no overlapping with complete area coverage. The robot will start and end at the exact same point. 

Index Terms—complete area coverage; contour maps; quadtree; spanning tree
